Mark Green was born in 1953, while his parents lived in Magazine. When he was four years old, they moved to Booneville, and except for about eight years, he has lived there ever since.
He graduated from BHS in 1971 and got his degree in music from Arkansas Tech in 1976. He retired from International Paper in 2017.
Mark's journalistic career began with his junior year in high school when he was asked by the Booneville Democrat to write the stories for the football games. In the intervening decades, he has been involved regularly in writing in some form or another.
Mark and his wife of 48 years, the former Pam Adams, live just outside of Booneville, where they raised their six children and where they regularly entertain their 18 grandchildren. Among his activities in his retirement has been the announcing for the Magazine Rattler basketball games since the construction of Diamondback Arena.

Mrs. Green and I have six children, who have provided us with eighteen grandchildren.

ABC’s Wide World of Sports used to run on Saturdays, and portrayed “the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.” (Remember the ski jumper who wiped out coming down the slope?) Well, David, grandson Ian and I got to see both at Wildcat Park.
The voice is sixty-one years old today. Those bell-like high notes are gone. The voice is a little heavier than it used to be, and perhaps a little huskier.
My mother (bless her heart) is one of those unique individuals who justly can be described as a “health food nut.”
